On Sunday the emergency services were called out to deal with two outbreaks of fire, the first of them in the municipality of Albudeite, where the flames were spotted and reported shortly before lunchtime alongside the Camino del Molino road. The incident was on farmland but close to residential properties and a primary school, and it was only due to the rapid intervention of firefighters that no evacuations were necessary.

Later in the afternoon, as the Infomur helicopter was returning to base from Albudeite those on board were able to confirm a second fire, this time in the municipality of Archena at a spot known as Lleguada la Luna. Again firefighters were quick to arrive, and the damage was limited to just 0.4 hectares of land.
